Re: CGI/Remote Commands on Web Servers

first of all, it is always safe not to let any cgi script execute a system command. but apart from this (admittedly somewhat superstitious) advice: put copies from the programs you want to execute on the same directory where the cgi script is residing, modify their access rights so that the cgi is able to call them - and pray. ^^
